2016 was another successful year for the Southside Community Ministries (SSCM) Food Pantry!

Due to gifts large and small, from many individuals and groups this past year, we were able to provide a nutritious 3-day supply of food to all who came through our doors.

In 2016, the food pantry served more than 13,000 family members in our community who were in need of food. Moreover, from May through October the pantry, in cooperation with several other partners, was able to provide an estimated 60,000 pounds of produce at six open produce markets for families in our community.Thank you to all of our generous supporters in 2016 who allowed us to continue the important mission of feeding families in need!
